| Beschrijving keerzijde | The cult statue of Apollo Smintheus depicted standing to the right atop a short columnar base, rendered in the hieratic style of the famous sanctuary at Chryse near Alexandria Troas. The deity is shown with a quiver at his shoulder, extending a patera over a lighted tripod altar to the right, and holding a bow in his left hand. The encircling colonial legend COL AVG TROAD frames the design, affirming the city's status as Colonia Augusta Troadensis. |

Alexandria Troas was a Roman colony — hence the COL designation — founded by Antigonus and refounded by Lysimachus before Augustus formalized its colonial status, granting it the right to issue its own bronze coinage. That privilege persisted remarkably late into the imperial period. The joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus, which began in 253 following the chaos after Aemilianus's brief usurpation, produced a concentrated burst of colonial bronze across Asia Minor as the central government struggled to maintain fiscal coherence during simultaneous barbarian incursions on multiple frontiers.
The "var." notation against SNG Copenhagen 161 likely reflects a die combination or control mark difference — Bellinger's corpus for this city remains the more granular reference for distinguishing among the numerous emissions of this period.
